I agree on St. Patrick Cathedral. I visited the Cathedral during my trip to New York for the first time when one of my graduation gifts from high school was a trip to the Big Apple. At the time of the visit, I had been raised Baptist. In 2010, I converted to Catholicism. I am now a proud and devout Catholic.

The one that gets left off most lists is the Cathedral Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul in Philadelphia. It is extremely beautiful visually, but what I find so thrilling is that it was built by the first and only American Bishop to be canonized (St. John Neumann). When it was under construction (opened in 1864) the City was in the middle of the virulently anti-Catholic Know-nothing riots. That is why there are no windows on the first floor, except those added in a 1950's renovation. I've noticed a few stone-throwers chiming in with criticisms of the Catholic and Orthodox tradition of building beautiful buildings to celebrate our faith. Their own homes are probably quite lovely. The poor never complain about money spent on churches because they know they are built for them. That's a rich person's preoccupation. I am reminded of a story of St. John Neuman who faced criticism for the construction of the cathedral during an economic downturn. Someone accosted the bishop with the complaint: "How can you spend all this money on a building when so many men are out of work." The bishop looked over at the men building the cathedral and said; "They aren't." When Mother Theresa walked into the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception (where I was a guide for a summer) she remarked: "Something beautiful for God." It used to be thought that nothing was too good for God. Now it seems anything is, in some people's view. The normal human reaction to beauty is joy and gratitude. I am uncertain what the basis of the negativity toward beauty in the service of God is, but it's definitely not OF God.

I grew up in the middle of Illinois and starting in the late 1960s or perhaps a bit later, parish church after parish church had its altarpiece torn out and most statues removed and murals painted over. There was a desire to make Catholic parishes look like Lutheran ones, or even a bit like mosques (banners with words on them, but not complete removal of all images). The cathedral in Peoria had the entire sanctuary painted beige, I’m told. (Some clever use of paint has undone some of this.) St. Patrick’s in Decatur, Illinois had had only mediocre art, and apart from the stained glass and the corpus of the altarpiece crucifix, nearly everything was destroyed. (My parish, when I was growing up.) The corpus was placed on a bronze cross with a Jesus The Friendly Ghost outline, and suspended from the high domed ceiling over the altar. (A new altarpiece probably from a demolished church has been put in now: the proportions are wrong but it’s an improvement.) I’m glad that some Catholic parish churches and some cathedrals escaped. In many of these ruined churches, the working poor had given money they could barely afford to equip the place where they joined in Mass with something beautiful, and then proud churchmen had it ripped away to satisfy their own tastes. It was truly Satanic.

I was very glad to hear that they decorated another dome in the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception with a mosaic. When I went to CUA in the 80's, 3 of the 5 domes were still waiting to be decorated. The Cathedral of the Madeleine has prominently displayed the quotation from Galatians: "If even an angel of God should preach a gospel different from what I preached to you, let him be anathema." Everyone in Utah, of course, knows that this is directed toward the Angel Moroni.

I'll never forget the first time I saw Sacred Heart Cathedral in Newark, NJ. Never would I have expected to see such a work of architecture in a slum like Newark. It's just so out of place. If you're in New York, well worth the visit.

You missed the Basilica of the Assumption by Latrobe in Baltimore, older than any of these buildings and arguably the finest building in North America.

I’ve attended Mass in four of these, and I agree with your assessments. But in my opinion, the Basilica of St. Josaphat in Milwaukee tops them all!

Was also going to recommend this. St John the Baptist in Manayunk is also very beautiful for a neighborhood parish.

I've been to most of these. The one in Salt Lake is lovely, but not top 6 worthy. Have you seen the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark?

I firmly agree with #1 & #2... I think you're missing the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark, NJ. That church is amazing and touts stained glass that rivals some cathedrals in Europe, one of the longest center aisles in the country, special craftsmanship in the masonry inside.

I've been to St. Patrick's and the National Shrine in Washington DC. Even as a native New Yorker, I like the Basilica in Washington better. It's larger, has more artwork, doesn't have a wood and plaster ceiling (St. Patrick's makes a few compromises with the architecture), and it has a wider variety of chapels and styles than St. Patrick's does.

My childhood community had a beautiful Catholic Church. The bishop ordered it torn down. Still struggle with that. Over 30 yrs ago.

the National Shrine of the Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, co-cathedral with the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen. Both are located in Baltimore. The Basilica was built as the cathedral church of the first diocese of the USA. As you enter there is a list of all the many bishops consecrated there.
